Emergency psychiatrist help. How to call a psychiatric ambulance

Sometimes it happens that suddenly the patient has an acute phase of a disease associated with a mental disorder. At such moments, a person is extremely dangerous. He is able to harm others or himself. Usually relatives are at a loss, they do not know how to act, and do not always understand that it is necessary to call specialists. In such cases, a psychiatric ambulance team arrives, makes a decision on the spot on the need for hospitalization, and also provides the help you need... Timely call of specialists helps to avoid trouble.

Who might need help from an ambulance like this?

Often, such help is required by patients with an exacerbation of an existing disease, often it is a disease such as schizophrenia, as well as epilepsy, psychosis or depression. With the development of an exacerbation, a person may be delusional, he has hallucinations, heightened motor activity begins, he is disoriented in time, as well as in space, or he is trying to escape from non-existent pursuers. In this standing, people can injure themselves, or their behavior towards others is aggressive. So, let's define a list of conditions in which a psychiatric ambulance team is immediately required:

  • the patient is at a loss and does not recognize loved ones, does not understand what is happening, or has fallen into a stupor;
  • tried to commit suicide or threatens to do so;
  • is not guided in reality and may harm you;
  • there is an acute psychosis;
  • there are signs of delirium tremens.

It is generally accepted that people who are intoxicated do not need the urgent help of psychiatrists. Nevertheless, it must be borne in mind that during drug or alcohol intoxication, signs of psychosis appear. Behavior in these moments is not controlled. And if you were denied in a regular ambulance, be sure to call a paid service that will send doctors who can assess the patient's condition.

What is the correct way to call a psychiatric team?

When you ask to send a special ambulance, it is imperative to inform the dispatcher of all the details of the patient's behavior, assess how aggressive he is, tell whether there have been such cases before. The dispatcher will always give you advice on how to behave until the doctors arrive.

  • Many do not have a phone for such specialized assistance, so you need to call a regular ambulance, an emergency phone or a paid service that arrives much faster.
  • It is important to realize that if a person is agitated, you do not need to try to calm him down on your own, you cannot always correctly assess your strength.
  • If you behave aggressively, try to remove all dangerous items.
  • Get small children and animals out of the apartment.

If there are auditory or visual hallucinations, a specialist examination is necessary to alleviate the person's condition. No less dangerous are the moments at which people become isolated, they have a depressed depressive mood, for several days they do not leave their room.

If your relative is trying to lay hands on himself, or is simply manipulating you, he should also be examined by a doctor. Minors are hospitalized only with the permission of their parents. In the absence of next of kin, hospitalization takes place under the police. The psychiatric ambulance team often calls the police themselves.

In some cases, if you are in danger, call not only the ambulance, but also immediately to the police. It must be understood that there is a close relationship between drug abuse, as well as alcohol and acute psychoses... The balance of important substances in the brain is disturbed. The most common disease is schizophrenia. People who have this ailment are prone to various manias, they constantly have crazy ideas.

Often, home help is called for elderly people, who not only have memory deterioration, but have increased anxiety and suspicion, as well as irritability. If you call a free service, it will only help you with drugs to calm your nerves, or take you to the hospital. Experienced psychiatrists work in a private ambulance who will advise loved ones and tell them how to cope with acute situations, develop a treatment plan, and, if indicated, will accompany the patient to the appropriate institution.

But you should also know that it is possible to put someone in the clinic only with his consent, or by proving that this person is a danger to society. Forced treatment possibly after committing some illegal actions. When you call doctors for an alcoholic with delirium tremens, then be prepared for the fact that your relative will be registered in a narcological dispensary. Calling a private ambulance will help avoid this.

Do I need to take a patient to a neuropsychiatric dispensary after calling an ambulance?

The patient is transported to a psychiatric hospital only if his actions pose a serious danger to himself or to others. In all other cases, the arrived team of doctors can provide assistance to the victim on the spot. In addition, the patient can be admitted to the hospital on a voluntary basis.

How long does a patient need to stay in a neuropsychiatric hospital?

In order for the patient's condition to improve, he must be kept in a psychiatric hospital for at least 3-5 days. If during this time there is no positive dynamics in improving the patient's condition, the period of his hospital stay may be extended to 30 days or more. The decision on how long a patient needs for rehabilitation is determined only by the attending physician. The length of stay of the patient in the hospital depends on the psychological state of the patient.

Is it mandatory to register the patient in a neuropsychiatric dispensary?

At the first stage of hospitalization, the patient can only be under the supervision of doctors. But it is only necessary to register it in an emergency. The decision to undergo treatment in a neuropsychiatric dispensary is made only by the medical commission after a thorough examination of the patient's condition.

If the patient was admitted to a hospital without voluntary consent?

The administration of the health institution must obligatorily submit documents to the higher courts stating that the patient was admitted to a neuropsychiatric dispensary no later than 2 days from the moment of hospitalization. Only the court makes a decision that the patient undergoes voluntary treatment in a neuropsychiatric dispensary voluntarily. The one who called the ambulance team to hospitalize the patient is brought to court as a witness.

What to do if, at the time the ambulance team was called, there were grounds for hospitalization of the patient, but by the time the team arrived at the scene, the patient's attack had already died away?

In this situation, the ambulance doctor who arrives at the call should consult with the psychiatrist on duty about the patient's condition. Based on the results of the conversation, the emergency doctor and the psychiatrist on duty decide whether the patient needs compulsory hospitalization or not.

Our highly qualified psychiatric ambulance team will quickly and readily arrive at your place. All assistance will be provided anonymously. We have psychiatrists on our staff who will carry out all the necessary measures. With the brigade, several well-trained physically orderlies always arrive. These workers are capable of handling even large men. We provide assistance around the clock. Just call us, and we will do all the necessary work at the proper level.

Psychiatric care

Psychiatric help, help from a doctor - psychiatrist, help from a psychiatrist, free help from a psychiatrist - where and how can you get all this?

Psychiatric care is a special type of medical care that includes psychiatric (neuropsychiatric) dispensaries, psychiatric hospitals (private and public), psychosomatic departments at ordinary hospitals, designed for patients with mental disorders and at the same time other health disorders (pneumonia, trauma, etc.). and psychiatric ambulance teams (private and public) and private psychiatrists.

Who needs psychiatric care?

All people with one or another mental disorder need it. First of all, these are unusual, strange, unacceptable behavior, hallucinations (visual and auditory), various unusual, delusional ideas, people with very low intelligence or very poor memory (forgetting to turn off the gas, water). These are people who cannot remember what year, month is now, confusing these concepts, people who do not recognize their loved ones. People with a reluctance to live, constantly bad mood, too sad, or vice versa, too funny. Be careful if your loved ones suddenly began to communicate with "space", "God", "aliens", "read" other people's thoughts or an elderly relative began to "see" strangers in the apartment that you do not see - be careful, perhaps your loved one needs psychiatric help. The help of a psychiatrist provided on time can radically change the situation in the family.

State mental health care (free psychiatrist help, state mental health care at home)?

State psychiatric care, she is also a psychiatrist, is provided free of charge at the level of the PND (neuropsychiatric clinic), psychiatric hospitals and psychosomatic departments. There are no free psychiatrists in ordinary polyclinics. In order to receive state mental health care for free, you need to contact a neuropsychiatric dispensary at your place of residence or if you want to get a psychiatrist at home government aid, it is necessary to write an application for examination of the patient at home in the PND. If the patient does not agree to be examined by a psychiatrist from the PND, then in this case it is necessary to go to court.

Very often the question arises: can psychiatrist help be provided online and online for free?

Currently, online psychiatrist help is not a type of medical care. And rightly so, it is not possible to treat a person either by phone or on the Internet. Therefore, psychiatrist help is not provided online.

In what cases will state mental health care (psychiatrist's help free of charge) be provided without the patient's consent?

How to place a call

Psychiatric care in Moscow, provided by the JV team, is provided around the clock. You can call her by phone 8 495 620 4230. By dialing this number, you get directly to the psychiatric department of the station.

And by calling 103, Moscow or any city in the Moscow region, you contact the ambulance station. Having outlined the situation to the dispatcher as accurately as possible, so that he understands: the person needs psychiatric help and switched you to the appropriate department. A senior psychiatrist will take your call. It is he who establishes the expediency of the challenge.

In a conversation with him, try to give as much information as possible about the state of the person to whom the call is being made. Describe his behavior when the change began. On the basis of your data, the specialist decides what kind of help a person needs: emergency or urgent, about the departure of the brigade.

Based on the patient's symptomatology, either an ambulance team or an appropriate special emergency team on the basis of a psychiatric hospital leaves for him.

The EMS doctor also has the right to refuse a call if he does not have enough reason for immediate assistance. In return, he advises the subscriber, explaining what actions to take.

Emergency and urgent care

The special brigade, as already mentioned, goes to the patient on an emergency or urgent basis.

In case of an emergency call, doctors will arrive at the site within 20 minutes. It is issued in the following cases:


Emergency care for a mentally unstable person is provided if:

  • he behaves without aggression, but in a strange way - he shows excessive anxiety and anxiety, fear;
  • there is a sharp change in mood, panic, debilitating insomnia;
  • the person is in deep depression;
  • confusion, disorientation. The patient does not recognize loved ones and is afraid of them. Does not sleep at night;
  • delusional ideas and hallucinations are present;
  • there is an exacerbation of a chronic disorder;
  • an antipsychotic patient becomes restless, anxious, or stiff and has muscle twitching;
  • the patient shows signs of acute alcoholic psychosis.

Emergency help will arrive on site within 2 hours. If during the waiting process the patient's condition has changed in one direction or another, it is necessary to inform the dispatcher about this.

What actions are carried out by the psychiatric team

Arriving at the place, doctors provide medical assistance to the patient in the required volume. If by this time he received physical injuries, for example, hit his head and earned a head injury, inflicted injuries on himself, etc., experts call in a non-specialized team to support.

A psychiatrist has the right to forcibly hospitalize a patient. Call the police if necessary. If the patient is dangerous, violent and threatening others, the police patrol must be involved even before the ambulance arrives. This is done in order to neutralize a socially unsafe person, to prevent them from harming the health of other people.

Ambulance doctors do not have the right to issue expert assessment documents, certificates of disability, alcohol intoxication.

Private psychiatric care

A private psychiatric emergency room is carried out in confidence. The information does not go outside the institution. A team comes to the call, which includes a psychiatrist, as well as a paramedic and orderlies, a driver. An ambulance is a special vehicle equipped with the necessary modern equipment and the latest medication.

Very often, the fear of publicity makes people delay contacting a psychiatrist. It is in such cases that an anonymous private psychiatric EMS will be an excellent way out of the situation. Often, its services are used to relieve withdrawal symptoms or in case of drug intoxication, when a person's behavior under the influence of a psychoactive substance becomes aggressive and unpredictable.

The team goes to the call at any time of the day. As a rule, clinics providing emergency services have a hospital in their structure. A person, at will or at the request of relatives, is transported there. Here he is provided with comfortable conditions, a ward with all amenities.

Private organizations value their reputation very much, strive to help their patients to the fullest, as quickly as possible, accurately and correctly. The employees of such clinics are highly qualified specialists with sufficient work experience, the required level of knowledge and skills.

It is necessary to realize that a timely appeal for an ambulance for a mentally ill person makes it possible to stop the progression of the process in time and avoid hospitalization. The EMS doctors will not only eliminate the alarming symptoms, but also tell you what needs to be done for further treatment.
